How many natural hat tricks have been scored, with all of the goals occurring in the same single period, in NHL history?

1The question doesn't ask for a list of all one-period natural hat tricks, only how many there have been, which should be a straightforward counting via a statistical database. That one answer has listed all of a small number doesn't make the question too broad.– Nij ♦Dec 5, 2018 at 18:27

Only having data for the 2017-2018 NHL season at my disposal:
- 81 hat-tricks were scored throughout the season
- 13 were natural
6 natural hat-tricks were scored in a single period (46.15% of all natural hat-tricks)
- Jamie Benn (1st period)
- Radek Faska (2nd period)
- William Karlsson (2nd period)
- Jason Zucker (3rd period)
- Teuvo Teravainen (3rd period)
- John Tavares (3rd period)
